joeFurbee — Tue, 03 Oct 2023 14:48:24 GMT

I guess we technically had SAS Bowl XXXIV AT SAS Explore. However, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Despite a cyber-security attack at the venue, the conference was a resounding success. While we did have fun, the focus was on software, solving problems, and networking. While all this is still in our recent memory, for this edition of the SAS Bowl, we'll take a look back at SAS Explore 2023.

This was a classic SAS Bowl. Thanks @thiago for hosting. I'm thinking of a theme for SAS Bowl XXXV as "My favorite PROC". Obviously data step, Proc SQL, and Proc FREQ will be there. But open for suggestions for others.

@joeFurbee I think Proc Tabulate to spice it up a little bit, in terms of data representation!
